A volcano is a mountain where molten stone from under the earth has reached the land. That is called an eruption. There is a magma chamber deep under the volcano which keeps the magma. When the magma chamber is filled with magma, the magma rises to the pipe which leads through the crater which makes the eruption. This can only happen when the volcano is active. The only way to escape is to leave the area by any chance of escape. When the molten stone reaches the land it turns into liquid which is called lava. The lava can burn or demolish everything it can touch. When you or an item will get touched by the lava you or the item will get burned all over and you will get part of the lava. A volcano can cause TSUNAMIS, earthquakes and lava flows. The volcanoes cause smoke that covers the area. That is called a smoke cloud. It can also cause lots of ashes. The ashes, smoke and gases from the volcano can suffocate then kill the victim.
Q. What is a tsunami?
A. A tsunami is water waves or a huge ocean wave that can travel more than 965 kilometres per hour, hundreds of kilometres over the sea before it reaches land. A tsunami is caused by an earthquake, coastal landslide or an eruption.
Q. What are the after effects of a tsunami? A. Due to the volumes of water and energy, tsunamis can destroy coastal places. The most recent tsunami was in Samoa in September 30 2009. Most people die when a tsunami strikes because the waves move faster than people can run which can drown humans. Tsunamis can destroy everything in its way. Q. What is the difference between tsunamis and tidal waves? A. A tsunami is caused by any large, changes of the sea level and a tidal wave is caused by the gravity of the moon and the sun.
Q. Who studies tsunamis? A. A meteorologist studies tsunamis by actually going close to the tsunamis and taking distant videos using their computer to get up close. Q. When did the largest tsunami occur? A. The largest tsunami that has ever occurred on 1958 in Lituya Bay, a large inlet in Alaska. An earthquake occured of either 7.9 or 8.3 near the Pacific Ring of Fire. Alot of dirt and rocks were moved of from a mountain near the bay, creating a tsunami; making the highest tsunami reached over more than 450 metres. Q. Where do tsunamis occur most often?
A. Almost all of the earth's tsunamis strike at the Pacific Ocean. Tsunamis strike most often along countries which surrounds the Pacific Ring of Fire.
Q. Why do tsunamis occur?
A. Tsunamis strike because, the tech tonic plates shift making a movement in the water and making all the water back, and then destroying everything in its way.
Q. How does a tsunami occur? A. A tsunami is caused by the changes of a large volume of a body of water, such as an ocean.
